This isn't frustration thread mate

Huge win for the Seagulls against a podium contender.

Played well, restricted them to a few shots and managed to finish off a couple of chances.

2nd place after 3 games ... Surely, not for long. But it feels nice. :)

After four matches played, somehow FC Point Fortin is atop the Trinidad and Tobago League standings! Amazing luck this team has.

2 million popularity today - after what seems like a very long 10 months and 23 days played. 

Stadium 9 will be finished at the end of the season.

How long will it take to:

  1. achieve 3 million popularity?
  2. reach league level 1?
  3. be genuinely competitive?

Fortunately there's no relegation or with my management we'd probably be going down. tongue-out

More seriously, the bottom level seems a good place to keep building the club. If the game was coded differently or we weren't such a long way behind then I'd much rather be competing at the top.

@ Numpty:

Even though you're probably right, I still have to admire your patience.

Staying in the bottom tier would probably bore me to tears. But given that my popularity is only at 1.5 million, your decision may very well have been the right one...

Yeah, that's correct. The main advantage is popularity. Promotion to a higher league may bring greater attendances in the short term, but once you start losing (or drawing) home matches the popularity growth rate stalls. 

There are other advantages such as spending most of the income on building facilities rather than paying to maintain a squad of players to try and be competitive. 

As for the boredom factor. That's also correct. It does get a bit tedious, but the alternative would probably be just as frustrating in it's own way. Many teams go up a couple of levels and before getting anywhere near the top they find themselves struggling in mid-table or battling relegation in a meaningless league. That would be some kind of challenge but it's ultimately fairly pointless unless they are near the top level. Especially as it slows progress down in the areas already mentioned. 

It's a bit like the tortoise vs the hare analogy. 

In general, my plan is build facilities until I'm ready to steam-roller all the way to the top level in successive seasons.
